Go Fourth...And Conquer

I have been trying for quite some time to use this traditional wingback chair in a more contemporary scene. This is my attempt to overcome that pesky challenge...

Happy 4thofJuly!

The Goods: Sofa and wingback chair are ebay finds; the coffee table is Minimodernistas; the throw pillows are Minimodernistas and Ikea (red/white stripe); All other accessories are ebay finds, DCWV, Tim Holtz, the girls' paperie, ReMent and Plan Toys.

Wing back chairs are always tricky in modern scenes. Regardless of the upholstery I think the dark stain on the legs always make them look vintage-y. I think you've incorporated it into your scene beautifully though. Hope you had a great 4th of July celebration =0)

Hi Jollie,How very sweet of you! I am glad that my "crazy" with this hobby inspires you. Please do share what you end up doing with the Lake View. I've always admired that dollhouse. Thank you for such kind words. Hugs right back at ya! Chuckles!
